From 6:00–7:15 PM, guests will enjoy a cocktail hour filled with live ambiance, community, and curated vibes honoring the artists, voices, and ancestors who built the foundation we now stand on.
At 7:15 PM, the curtain rises on our Season Reveal: A Taste of Black Theatre 2 — a powerful, one-night-only theatrical experience previewing the bold works that will define Showtime Legacy’s first season.
